Christe Eleison!: The Invocation of Christ in Eastern Monastic Psalmody c. 350-450

by James F. Wellington

In this study the author explores the understanding and practice underpinning the Jesus Prayer. He does this by means of an investigation of the importance of psalmody in desert monasticism, an exploration of the influence of Evagrius of Pontus and a thorough examination of selected psalm-commentaries in circulation in the contemporary East.
